Perhaps you left something out...didn't let the executor of estate do what??
Re: illegally signing escrow papers
Could be anywhere from an innocent mistake to a felony, depending upon what the ex-wife knew and intended. However, someone here is probably at fault if there was a bad result; it could be the ex-wife, her broker or agent, the buyer, the escrow company, or who knows? Requires more facts and a top-to-bottom investigation.
